First, we are actively working with the Nixa School District to create a school sponsored Ham Radio Club. This station is in close proximity to the Nixa High School and several of the elementary schools so we hope it will serve as the club station for Nixa students. The youth involved in the program will be instilled with responsibility and leadership skills through their handling of emergency and routine radio traffic into and out of the Nixa area during emergency communications drills as well as in real-life events.

Second, it is to be utilized for communication training. This function is directly linked to the first point, but would include any persons interested in proper amateur radio and emergency communications techniques.

Third, it is our plan that the local Emergency Management offices, such as Greene and Christian Counties, and the National Weather Service be able to control this station locally or remotely. These entities could do this if any of their local stations were damaged or if they had the need for more simultaneous stations.
